Scope and Content General view of Glen Clunie Drive, Darnley Development, Glasgow The Darnley development was built from 1969 to 1975, and designed by Glasgow Corporation Department of Architecture and Planning. These linked medium-rise blocks were an alternative to the high-rise towers of the 1950s and 1960s for housing large numbers. This photograph shows a detail of the deck access blocks. The flats are reached by stair towers and balconies, and each block is linked to its neighbours by a walkway. The blocks are faced with exposed concrete and coloured render in bands of colour. The flats vary in size between six and eight storeys high, and are arranged in long linked chains around the Brock Burn, which curves through the site. A network of roads, lawns, playing fields and community buildings serves the development. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
